ANNOUNCEMENT. 


The  regular  session  of  1872-73  will  commence  on  Tuesday, 
Oct.  15th,  and  will  continue  Twenty-two  Weeks.  There  will  be 
a  re-union  and  opening  exercises  at  8  o'clock  p.  m.  of  that  day  at 
the  College,  187  Second  Avenue.  Commencement  will  take 
place  Thursday  evening,  March  20th,  1873. 

Examinations  for  matriculation  will  be  conducted  by  the 
Facidty  during  the  first  week  of  attendance,  and  for  advanced 
standing  at  the  close  of  each  session.  The  final  examination 
for  the  degree  of  those  approved  by  the  Faculty  will  be  con- 
ducted by  the  Board  of  Censors  two  weeks  prior  to  commence- 
ment. 

The  Dispensary  attached  to  the  College  is  open  daily  for  the 
treatment  of  patients,  and  students  are  thus  afforded  the  oppor- 
tunity of  constantly  observing  and  treating  cases  under  the 
supervision  of  the  Clinical  Professor. 

The  Hospital  in  the  College  Building  affords  every  facility  foi 
the  study  of  obstetrical  cases,  and  of  chronic  as  well  as  acute 
diseases  of  women  and  children.  "Without  this  actual  observa- 
tion at  the  bedside  of  the  patient,  the  study  of  disease  from 
books  would  be  of  comparatively  little  value. 

The  large  Hospitals  and  Dispensaries  of  the  city  are  also 
open  to  the  stude#ts  of  this  College,  as  well  as  the  lectures  of 
the  Faculty. 

One  of  the  most  significant  facts  of  this  age  is  the  spontaneous 
and  universal  movement  of  women  towards  a  higher  intellectual 
development — a  movement  not  confined  to  our  own  country  nor 
even  to  enlightened  Europe,  but  which  is  extending  to  those  be- 
nighted regions  where  the  sex  is  kept  in  seclusion  and  in  abject 
submission  to  man. 

A  recent  letter  from  England,  says :  "  The  late  Sir  James 
Simpson  stood  by  the  side  of  Professors  Masson,  Fawcett,  Bal- 
four, Guthrie,  Oliver,  Marshall,  and  all  the  leading  men  of  the 
leading  I  nivor>il ies  of  Kiimpe  in  favor  of  the  complete  equal- 
ity of  the  sexes  in  medical  education." 

Whatever  may  he  thought  of  the  medical  profession  for  wo- 


V 


men  in  Christian  countries,  there  can  be  no  doubt  that  it  will  be 
the  most  powerful  auxiliary  in  the  great  missionary  field  of  the 
world.  Dr.  Humphrey  of  the  American  Mission  in  India,  aided 
by  Hindoos  of  high  rank,  has  established  a  school  of  medicine 
for  women,  and  native  Christian  women  completed  their  first 
year  of  study  with  such  credit  that  they  were  put  in  charge  of 
the  female  wards  of  the  government  hospitals  and  a  grant  was 
made  by  the  government  to  aid  in  the  erection  of  buildings  for 
a  new  college. 

The  General  Assembly  of  the  re-united  Presbyterian  Church, 
held  in  Philadelphia  in  May,  1870,  passed  resolutions  in  favor  of 
increasing  the  staff  of  women  as  missionaries  in  those  countries 
where  the  higher  classes  can  only  be  reached  by  their  own  sex, 
and  recommending  the  seeking  out  and  commissioning  those 
who,  being  otherwise  fitted  for  the  work,  should  be  qualified  to 
practice  medicine.. 

We  are  happy  in  being  able  to  join  in  giving  testimony  to  the 
kindness  shown  our  students  in  the  public  Hospitals,  so  well  ex- 
pressed by  the  valedictorian  of  the  last  graduating  class  : 

"  In  our  attendance  upon  clinics  at  the  Hospitals  and  Dispen- 
saries of  this  city  and  Brooklyn,  we  cannot  speak  in  too  high 
praise  of  the  uniformly  kind  and  gentlemanly  treatment  we  have 
received  at  the  hands  of  the  attending  physicians  and  surgeons 
— Allopathic  and  Homoeopathic — and  from  the  young  gentlemen- 
students  whom  we  met  at  those  places.  Such  conduct  was  not 
passed  by  unnoticed  or  unappreciated.  Those  visits  will  be 
classed  among  the  many  pleasant  reminiscences  of  our  student 
life." 

The  great  discoveries  and  advances  in  every  department  of 
physical  science  within  the  last  few  years,  require  a  correspond- 
ing advance  in  the  standard  of  medical  education;  and,  since  the 
profession  has  been  entered  by  women,  it  is  of  the  highest  im- 
portance that  they  should  enjoy  every  posssible  advantage  in 
pursuing  it.  In  accordance  with  this  idea,  the  Faculty  of  the 
New  York  Medical  College  for  Women,  in  common  with  other 
medical  instructors,  have  decided  that  a  more  extended  period 
of  study  and  attendance  upon  lectures  should  be  required,  and 
they  have  divided  and  graded  the  studies  as  follows  : 


8 


COURSE  OF  STUDY. 

First  Year. — The  first  year  will  be  devoted  to  Anatomy, 
(with  much  attention  to  demonstration,)  Chemistry,  Physiology, 
and  Materia  Medica. 

Junior  Year. — The  second  year  will  be  given  to  Anatomy, 
Materia  Medica,  Theory  and  Practice  and  Diseases  of  Women, 
and  Chemistry  (if  not  completed). 

Senior  Year. — Surgery,  Obstetrics,  Medical  Jurisprudence, 
practice  under  the  supervision  of  the  professor,  with  oral  and 
written  discussions  of  medical  themes.  In  addition  to  didactic 
teaching,  the  students  will  hold  recitations  and  quizzes  at  least 
twice  every  week. 

Dissections  are  required  in  the  first  and  second,  but  not  in  the 
third  year. 

Advanced  pupils  will  be  permitted  to  diagnose  pathological  . 
conditions,  and  treat  cases  of  disease  before  the  class  in  the  pres- 
ence of  a  professor. 

The  Supplementary  or  Spring  Term  will  give  opportunity  for 
extra  attention  to  practice,  and  such  special  subjects  as  Ophthal- 
motology,  Obstetrical  Surgery,  Auscultation,  Microscopic  Exam- 
inations, etc.
